It's not as if Vlad has come out as a blue for publicity or to wind anyone up. He just did an interview with CityTV because he attended the Madrid match and they gave it him at the end. Seems like a nice fella.

He gave an interview with BBC Sport where he made it clear that he's a Bayern fan and said he supported City for the day because A) they rolled out the hospitality for him and B) he doesn't like Real. They asked him if he would be going to Madrid to support City in the second leg and he didn't sound that bothered.

Klit is not a Blue... Just another recent celebrity rolled out with a shirt for their own PR purposes such as last week with the WWE stars, and Ice Cube awhile back promoting a new movie.
These cretins will say/do anything to promote their self.
Ricky Hatton however is a genuine blue... He'd go and watch us WWWS and had a loyal Blue following because of his genuine loyalty to City.
Reminds me of Snoop Doggy Dogg as he's been photographed wearing about 20 different football club shirts.

Fury is an unfunny homophobic Neanderthal knuckle dragging rag. Come on the other bloke!

Not just me then. The rags I know don't like him, or him being associated with that shite but I find him amusing, he makes me chuckle. That said Klitzh will be fired up for the re match, you'd think.I can't help but like Fury, he's just a loony but I find him funny. Obviously detest the fact he's a rag but I'll still want him to beat Klit, won't mind Fury getting flattened by AJ though, that I will enjoy!

I think both are shit untalented boxers who tend to dominate their opposition through their sheer size and strength.
It's no coincidence that Heavyweight boxing has been in decline since the Klitscho brothers and Valuev began to dominate. I never watched Klitscho v Fury as I knew it would be as shit as watching 2 grizzly bears mud wrestling. However Fury is a fucking embarrassment to Manchester and a Rag so I hope Klitscho sparks him the fuck out, then goes on to fight Joshua and then gets sparked out in return.

There is no limit size wise in the heavy weight division is there, or has there been?

I'm sure Heavyweight's used to be classed as anything over 12st, but then that changed and light heavyweight and cruiserweight's at 14st limit were inserted to make fights fairer as there was too big a difference between a 12st heavyweight and 17st heavyweight.There is no limit size wise in the heavy weight division is there, or has there been?

Morning all,please keep all comments respectable,offensive terminology will not be tolerated,cheers:-)
Back on topic.....Fury is anything but your typical boxer,in all senses.....but I find him amusing,IMO the sport needs characters and he's certainly one of them,his press conferences/interviews always provide great entertainment and are becoming must watch TV.I'd be more than happy to see him retain the title.

Fury is a character granted.
Remind me of that one person at work everyone knows who's done everything better than anyone else etc. Are we sure his real dad isn't a scouser?
The press conference was more entertaining than the fight will be.
Klitch comes across as a very clever man and very approachable.

I disagree with this notion that Boxing needs characters... Far from it.
If the sport is going to gain respect from the wide general public then ignorant morons like Fury won't achieve this.
Maybe it will encourage people to watch the fight just to see him on his ass??
Long term the sport needs the likes of this Joshua lad, who comes across as a down to earth, humble guy - someone kids could admire and encourages them to take up the sport.

Wasn't he a drug dealer? And enforcer?

He pleaded guilty to drug dealing and was convicted yes.Wasn't he a drug dealer? And enforcer?
Even more of a reason for kids to admire this lad as many youths of Britain today can relate to him.
He's come from the gutter and he's risen above it.
Hats off to the lad.

I hope Fury does it again and with the majority on his back again, not that he'll ever get any credit. Whatever the thoughts on him, he beat the man others couldn't in Germany and very few gave him a chance of doing it.
He's boxed all his life and what him and his family have achieved is to be admired, he says he's never been in trouble with the police apart from driving offences and some say he's not a role model due to his outdated beliefs, where as Joshua is a hero despite looking down the barrel at serious time for drug dealing, all because he knows how to handle himself in front of a camera, I think Tyson also knows how he is expected to behave, just that he couldn't give a shit for it and if you don't like him so be it, he is what he is and at the moment he is the undisputed heavy weight champion of the world and a lot can't handle that fact, I wonder how much of that is because certain people can't mould him to their way and are shit scared of him and the confidence he has in his own beliefs.
His Dad was rightfully annoyed at the last press conference and mentioned Tyson was close to retirement, his attitude to boxing isn't new, he is pissed off with it and as I've said before to me he seems depressed and searching for meaning in life and achieving what he always wanted in becoming world champion hasn't provided that and has further realised he will never get any credit, he could cure cancer and to most he'd still just be a fat gypo.

My thoughts exactly. Hope he gets Klitschko out of the way then fucks Joshua up.I hope Fury does it again and with the majority on his back again, not that he'll ever get any credit. Whatever the thoughts on him, he beat the man others couldn't in Germany and very few gave him a chance of doing it.

There's good and bad in everyone, there's things I like about Fury and things I don't like about him too and it's the same with Klitschko.
Klitschko I like because he makes the effort to set an example - this cannot be taken away from him he tries to act with respect and dignity(a gent), rose above a lot of things 99% of fighters wouldn't have throughout his career(I mean they tried to make a big deal about him using the words "fuck off" in a press conference which is nothing... doesn't that say a lot about the standard he's set compared to most?)... What I don't like is he's not really tried to entertain the boxing fans, while he was champ he did what he wanted... out of the ring I give him a pass for that(he's not that kind of personality probably doesn't like that kind of attention) but as far as making fights people want to see and a lot of the time safety first performances(mostly in his adopted home country to boot) in the ring it's right that he has critics for that(especially given how long he had the belts).
As for Tyson first off the Fury fans will defend him beyond belief telling you he speaks his mind and never bullshits(i.e nothing is for show)... truth is he bullshits as much if not more than anyone when it suits him he's just selective when he does it. I like him because when he's being himself he's pretty likeable and not as dumb as he sometimes sounds(watch some of his interviews with IFL's Kugan when his guard is down and there's a reason for this guard which I'll come to) and as a fighter of his size he's full of surprises he might not always look composed or clean in his work but he's very fast for his size and he is a fighter(I can't see him taking a knee or not getting up for a count through lack of wanting it). Now recently he's been saying some things that have had me questioning if I want to back him or not but I saw this interview recently too which probably is what's going on in his head(I agree it is wrong how they are treated by some and everyone strangely seems ok with it but as I've said before nobody likes a crybully/SJW he needs to learn that or he'll play into their hands):
I think Tyson was hoping the country would get behind him when he won and everyone love and accept him, he's obviously faced a lot of prejudice in his lifetime and perhaps a lot of travelers do, it's no good saying he should get over it because none of us know what it's like unless you've come from that place. It's as bad as racial prejudice(colour of ones skin) you're not good enough to mix with us because you're this colour etc except in this day and age someone would say something about that. I still think he's seeing it wrong though, moving to America is not the answer because they are even worse than us(he was moaning that he only gets attention because he's a freak show/joke) they love him because they think he's mental, it's like British boxing fans with Shannon Brigs. Another thing with the acceptance is, if he was expecting to mix with the high class and filthy rich(meet the queen etc) IMO they are the most prejudice bunch out there even do well white working class who get rich will get looked down on and mocked by a lot of that sort, I'm not sure what he was expecting. It's good that he's not taking it out on AJ too even though he's stolen a lot of the limelight at a time where he should be main man domestically, I really think they like each other in reality.
